Biden didn't make lowering gas price promises that Trump did.

"During his 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to lower gasoline prices to below $2 a gallon and cut overall energy bills by 50% within one year of taking office.  As of July 2025, the national average gas price remained around $3.16 per gallon, leading PolitiFact to rate the specific $2 promise as "Stalled" despite a general 10-20% drop in gasoline prices from 2024 levels attributed to global oversupply and OPEC+ decisions."

That's fucking laughable.

You claim because Biden didn't make a promise about lowering gas, Americans didn't care about it??

They only care because Trump promised?

Jesus Christ.

It's been shown in this thread that Trump was talking about Iran back in the 80s, just as he is now.

but it's the Joos I tell ya.

And since the 80s Iran has not attacked it's neighbors, only Israel has done that.

"Iran has not invaded a neighboring country in over 200 years since the establishment of the Qajar dynasty, according to historical analysis of its military doctrine which is primarily defensive"

If Americans really cared about women's rights in other countries, they would start with fixing Afghanistan, you know, that mess your leaders left behind without a care.

North Korea is threatening to fire missiles at mainland USA and they can do it. Where is the offensive from your leaders? Wait, what? Oh no, they have nuclear capability, so we are forced to negotiate first.

That's fucking laughable.

It all has to do with affordability and Trump is a big FAILURE for the American people.

"President Trump's administration has faced significant criticism for failing to lower costs for American families, with reports indicating that households paid an estimated $2,120 more in 2025 due to inflation under his policies.  While Trump has claimed that an affordability crisis is a "hoax" or a "con job" pushed by Democrats, data and analyses from the Senate Banking Committee and economic research institutions suggest his agenda has worsened everyday expenses for groceries, electricity, and health care. 
Key factors contributing to this failure include:

• Tariffs and Inflation: The administration's aggressive tariff policies have raised prices on essential goods, with inflation slowing its decline from 3.0% to just over 2.6% in the first year of his second term, compared to a faster drop under the previous administration. 
  
• Health Care Cuts: The refusal to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies and proposed cuts to Medicaid have led to an estimated 15 million people losing health coverage, while premium tax credits expired, causing enrollment to drop by 1.4 million. 
  
• Energy and Food Costs: Electricity prices surged after the administration ended subsidies for renewable generation, and grocery staples like coffee and beef saw sharp increases of 29% and 21% respectively since January 2025. 
  
• Inequitable Impact: The burden of these rising costs has fallen hardest on lower-income households, with the bottom 20% of families facing roughly $950 in additional costs, amounting to over 5% of their estimated income. 
  

Although the administration has attempted to address specific issues, such as negotiating lower drug prices through a new "TrumpRx" platform, these measures have limited reach, excluding 85% of Americans who rely on insurance. Furthermore, proposals to cap credit card interest rates have been criticized as temporary fixes that could lead to higher rates once the caps expire, while deep cuts to rental assistance threaten housing affordability for hundreds of thousands more.

On a conspiracy-minded path, I'd say Trump will blame all his affordability failures for the people on this war. Another great cover up plan.

Elizabeth Warren??

Did she give a shit when fucking eggs were $8/dozen under Biden?

Just stop with the excuses.

[SteamyAmerican]

I recall polls telling me Hillary was going to beat Trump in a landslide.

I recall polls telling me Kamala was going to beat Trump in a landslide.

Who is still dumb enough to believe polls besides you?

Funny you mention this.

Recently there was a poll that states 100% of MAGA Republicans support Trump.

I had a good laugh.

Damn if the left appealed to more voters, Iran would already be neutralized

The cost of eggs is the least of your problems now.

"The Real Story is the Long-Term

The biggest impact of the difference between Biden and Trump policy is likely to be a long-term story. While Biden had implemented a number of measures to hasten the transition to electric vehicles and clean energy, Trump is doing everything he can to lock us into fossil fuel dependency. As the cost of EVs and clean energy continue to decline rapidly, this decision will be costing us more money through time. It also means the United States will be largely locked out of these important growth sectors. And this is besides from the additional damage we will be doing to the environment.
 
Trump’s policies on immigration will certainly slow growth. Also, his harassment of universities and researchers will likely lead to many scientists deciding to work elsewhere. The United States will be a much less important source of innovation going forward than it was in prior decades. This is a bad story for the US economy, even if it may not be what people have in mind when telling pollsters the economy is bad. 
And the war in Iran is almost certainly to lead to long-term damage. At this point, it’s hard to have much idea of what the endgame looks like, but this attack has done even more than tariffs to leave the United States isolated. That is not a good long-term story.
 
In short, at least until the war, the effect of Trump’s policies on the economy may have been negative, but they were not disastrous. The longer-term picture is considerably worse.  "

The new Iran war is to blame, is the new cover up for all of Trump's failures.

"The other important item to note is that these data are for February. That is before the war on Iran sent the price of oil, natural gas, and many other commodities soaring. As bad as the February data look, March is virtually certain to be worse."

Your credibility is going lower than I thought possible mentioning electric vehicles.

Stop embarrassing yourself.
